well we all know that nappies are a HUGE environmental problem in the world.

around 8 million nappies go into landfill each year in australia alone! ive heard that would fill the MCG up at least 3 times! yucko! now thats alot of poop!

with the impact on

the environment in such a massive way we often ask how can we fix it? would it be better if we used washables like granny did?

well the answer to that is... its inconclusive! with water shortages and the use of power for washing and the effect of detergents basically it may work out to be just as bad if not worse than the mountain of poop that populates aus! (now i dont actually believe this but this is a bit of  the argument when it comes to the cloth VS disposable debate)

so what to do, what to do we all say! for some cloth isnt an option so there is one newish option that wasnt available to us a few years ago which now is, THE BIODEGRADABLE NAPPY! sorry had to capitalise i think its important lol

the biodegradable nappy is being used by several brands now, but i use one particular type natures babycare, i came across it at my shop by accident and didnt actually look at the packet until id started using them, i liked that they were thin but worked the same if not better than the other nappies id tried.

tobias as a newborn had issues with his nappies leaking so i was constanly trying new ones to see how they worked for us, these didnt LEAK!

then i looked at the packet and a lil green circle caught my attention ECO..... this made me look into the nappy furthur! the nappy is made with a film based on corn not plastic it contains chlorine free pulp and tobias has not suffered nappy rash at all (except one week when my local shop was out of them and he was teething haha) since we started using them!

there are many brands that now stock compostable and biodegradable nappies and baby products like wipes, disposable bibs, liners and womens products now all you have to do is look for them!

they can be slightly more expensive than alot of nappies around now but they are still cheaper than alot too and the cost on the environment is alot more costly to me anyway.

so check them out and give them a try!
